Brazilian Progressive Rock act Caravela Escarlate unveil the promo video for “Bússola do Tempo” from upcoming album “III” set for release on January 27, 2023 via Karisma Records. Stream the promo through the YouTube player below:
Formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2011, Caravela Escarlate is a trio heavily inspired by both English and Italian ‘70s Prog Rock, but they draw on traditional and popular Brazilian music, which gives them a special, and quite unique, sound.
Caravela Escarlate‘s third album is a new journey into vintage Progressive Rock pathways. “III” evokes historical issues in different contexts – Roman Empire, Medieval Times, Pre-Columbian Civilizations, and Age of Discovery. The cover artwork is a painting of the British artist J.M.W.Turner portraying the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79.
In musical terms, Jove David Paiva, Elcio Cáfaro, and Ronaldo Rodrigues provide a deep exploration of organs and synthesizers over a solid basis of drums and bass like the glorious Prog Rock trios from the 1970s. Seven tracks (two instrumentals) bring the unique approach of Caravela Escarlate that mixes universal influences and a Brazilian accent in Prog Rock.
For fans of Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Wobbler, Camel, Van Der Graaf Generator, The Flower Kings, and Big Big Train.
